00:00 Kapuso, we are here at the Blooming Treat Market to personally know the price of eggs.

00:06 This weekend, the Department of Agriculture said that there is a shortage of eggs

00:13 because some of our countrymen or voters don't know how to measure the right size of eggs.

00:22 So what happens is they sell smaller eggs at a higher price.

00:27 Just to give you an idea, the sizes of eggs are different.

00:32 The extra small is 49 grams, it's at 7 pesos.

00:36 The small is 51 to 55 grams, the price is 750 more or less.

00:40 The medium is 56 to 59 grams, it's at 75 pesos.

00:48 And the large is 61 to 65 grams, it's 8 pesos.

00:52 The extra large is 66 to 69 grams, it's at 9 pesos.

00:55 And the jumbo is 70 to 74 grams, it's 10 pesos more or less.

01:00 So at this point, we will talk to one of the sellers here at the Blooming Treat Market.

01:07 Good morning, Ate!

01:10 Ate Nilda, I already talked to her earlier.

01:13 Ate, let's start with this first because there is a shortage when it comes to selling eggs.

01:20 How do you ensure that the right size is what we give to our buyers?

01:26 I've been selling eggs for a long time, so I already know the right size.

01:34 If they say that the size is too large, I can see that it's wrong.

01:43 But are you ready? Do you have a scale? If not, the buyers will have doubts.

01:48 Yes, ma'am.

01:50 There is a rule that the price will be based on the weight of the egg.

01:57 And the size of the egg, even if it's medium, small, extra small, large, jumbo,

02:02 the price will be based on the weight of the egg.

02:07 Do you agree with that?

02:08 No, ma'am.

02:09 Why?

02:10 Because it's confusing because we sell per size.

02:15 For example, if a buyer says that the size is large, we will sell per size.

02:21 How is the supply of eggs? Is it still a lot or is it decreasing?

02:27 It's a lot now.

02:30 So since it's a lot, do we expect it to increase by Christmas?

02:33 Yes, ma'am. It increases every Christmas and New Year.

02:38 Even if there is a lot of supply?

02:39 Yes.

02:40 By how much?

02:41 For example, jumbo, we sell it for 10 pesos. XL is 9 pesos. Large is 8 pesos.

02:54 By how much will it increase?

02:55 Pesos?

02:57 It's not 10 pesos.

02:59 It's not?

03:00 Yes, it's 50 cents.

03:01 Alright. Thank you very much, Ate Nilda.

03:03 At this point, let's ask one of the buyers.

03:08 Good morning, ma'am. I saw you looking around.

03:12 Have you experienced an incident where you sold a smaller egg but it's more expensive?

03:21 No, ma'am.

03:22 Because they display it per size.

03:27 In a box, the size is the same.

03:30 Now, they are tinning it.

03:32 They give prices for each one.

03:36 For example, in a tray, it's mixed. There's small, medium, large.

03:41 They are tinning it.

03:43 Once they separate it size by size, they give prices.

03:47 So, you are compliant with the price that the size is the same and you can sell it for this price?

03:54 Yes.

03:55 You are not against the price based on the size of the egg?

04:00 No, ma'am. Because the size of the egg is different.

04:05 The price is different.

04:06 The price is different.

04:07 If it's a small egg, you will lose if you buy it per kilo.

04:09 How will they sell it?

04:11 For example, in a store, they will retail it.

04:13 Of course, they want to have the same size.

04:16 If it's a small, large egg and the price is the same, you will not buy it.

04:20 Alright.

04:21 Because you will lose.

04:22 Okay. Thank you very much for your time.

04:25 Thank you.

04:26 Go ahead. Go buy an egg.

04:27 Thank you.

04:28 This is our guest, Mr. Rosendo So, the chairperson of Samahang Industriya na Agrikultura o SINAG.

04:39 Good morning, sir Rosendo.

04:41 Good morning, ma'am Marie.

04:43 Alright. First of all, there was a news this weekend,

04:51 the Department of Agriculture said that there is a non-reliable news regarding the price of the egg.

04:56 Has this information reached you?

05:00 Yes.

05:03 There are people who say that there is a fraud.

05:06 But what they are buying from the producers is by weight.

05:12 So, the small size, it will be around P46 to P55.

05:21 So, that is the weight of the small.

05:23 The medium size is P56 to P60.

05:27 So that is the medium size.

05:29 The retailer will know about the by weight.

05:35 It's the same because they are buying it by size.

05:39 So the retailer should have a by weight that can be sampled from the retail.

05:47 We have a national standard that the by weight should be followed.

05:52 So, that should be followed so that there is a base handle in the retail.

06:01 But is it in the favor of the farmer that he should just make per kilo the egg sales

06:11 so that the total price will be based on the price that they will pay?

06:17 By weight is already in the law.

06:24 The sizes and grams that they will get, it's already there.

06:32 So it means that those who are budgeting for smaller eggs, they will buy that by sizes.

06:42 So that should be the standard.

06:45 The important thing is that the retailer should weigh the by sizes so that the consumer can check

06:53 what gram they are buying.

06:56 Alright, sir.

07:01 Just one last thing.

07:02 What are the reminders for the buyers so that even if this kind of scam is not yet implemented,

07:09 they will not be affected by the prices of the eggs that they are buying?

07:15 Yeah.

07:16 Mostly, we have vendors in the markets.

07:22 You should also check the weight of the eggs.

07:29 There are eggs that are the standard size of our national standard.

07:36 So that they will not be affected, they should check the weight.

07:45 If the large size is 66 to 50, they should just sample so that they will not be affected.

08:03 Alright. Thank you very much for your time and the information you gave us.

08:08 That's Rosendo So, the Chairperson of SINAG or the Industries of Agriculture.

08:13 Good morning.

08:14 Thank you.
